Projects
A little goes a long way:
Our Chairman’s budget funds small items of equipment quickly to make a significant impact on the wellbeing of patients.
Access to Eye Care Services:
We funded £40K for Visual Field Equipment for the Eye Service at York Community Stadium. This includes a visual field analyser, focimeters and tonometers.
And lots more projects:
Over the years, we have funded lots of projects, large and small with your help. Here are some examples.
Support for staff and patients during the Pandemic:
We provided £20k for care boxes for staff and toiletry bags for patients. The boxes had goodies such as coffee, tea bags, squashes, pasta/noodles, porridge, cereal bars and toiletries. All wards and departments received these care boxes.
Scalp Cooling System
With your help we’ve given £17k to pay for a Scalp Cooling System for York Hospital. Approximately 50 patients each month opt for scalp cooling treatment. As more people are diagnosed with cancer, demand for this treatment will increase. Scalp cooling is intended to help prevent hair loss in people undergoing Systemic Anti–cancer Treatment
Shock Wave Therapy:
Your contributions have funded a Podiatry Shockwave Therapy Unit costing £13K. This will treat patients who have plantar fasciitis, a painful debilitating heel condition, or Achilles tendon pathology.
The physiotherapy service at York Hospital will also use it to widen the benefit for hospital and community patients.
LNER Community Stadium
Every journey begins with just one step and these are the first three. FOYH has funded artwork for the NHS in the Community Stadium. They bring the outside inside with relaxing folds of Vale and Wold. There’s “Moor” to come.
6th Form Project
The Friends of York Hospitals and York & Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Trust are proud to engage with young people to provide an opportunity to gain an understanding of the role of medical staff within the NHS.
